Epikeratophakia for keratoconus [PDF]

Eye, 1990
Results of the author's first 15 cases of epikeratophakia for keratoconus are presented. All patients were intolerant of contact lens correction and could not achieve satisfactory acuity with spectacle correction due to corneal ectasia and irregular astigmatism. The average follow-up was 13 months.

Oxidative Stress in Keratoconus?

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2011
The purpose of this study was to establish the alterations of oxidative stress-related markers in keratoconus (KC) corneas.A total of 6 healthy and 11 ectatic corneas (7 KC and 4 post-LASIK) were studied. Different oxidative stress-related markers were determined to assess their implication in the KC pathophysiology.

Corneal Cell Matrix‐Conditioned Amniotic Membrane with Improved Biochemical Properties and Corneal Wound Healing Potential: An In Vitro and In Vivo Study

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 310, Issue 6, June 2025.
In this research, the amniotic membrane is sought to be enhanced biologically by treating it with primary cultured corneal cells. The findings indicate that amniotic membranes conditioned with limbal stem cells serve as an effective wound dressing that mimics corneal tissue, offering better cell adhesion, and healing properties, paving the way for ...

Critical Role of Skin in Pathogenesis: Bidirectional Crosstalk Between Skin and Multiple Organs

MedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
The skin functions as both a protective barrier and an autonomous immune organ, maintaining dynamic interactions with internal organs. This review analyzes skin‐organ crosstalk mechanisms, highlighting key cytokines (particularly IL‐17A) and microbial metabolites that mediate interorgan communication.
